1986

You might be a Generation X-er if you're doing absolutely nothing pertaining to your major, and there was nothing strange about Bert n' Ernie living together. Anyway, on with the show. William Bosch joined the Washington, D.C., law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bocklus L.L.P. in its intellectual property practice. He is focusing his practice in patent litigation. In January Geoff Michel became the director of government affairs for Minnesota Mutual Life Insurance Co., managing all federal, state, and city government affairs for the St. Paul-based firm. Geoff received his law degree from die University of Minnesota and worked as legal counsel to Governor Arne Carlson before joining Minnesota Mutual in 1995. Also, in January, Ken Novikoff was elected as a partner at the national law firm of Rivkin, Radler & Kremer. He specializes in complex commercial, civil rights, and employment litigation. Mark Lamarre was named director at Cowen & Co. in Boston. William Hizar was named a partner in the Jones Financial Companies, the holding company for the financial services firm Edward Jones. He was one of only 20 individuals chosen from more than 10,000 associates across the country to join the firm's 118 partners.

Move over Starbucks, here comes Caribou Coffee. Unless you live in Cleveland or other suburbs of the Midwest, you probably have not heard about John Puckett (and his wife, Kim's) coffeehouses. With money borrowed from credit cards, the Pucketts opened their first coffeehouses in Edina, Minn. Now, they have 80-plus establishments in all areas of the U.S. including Alaska. The couple met at the Tuck School and waited three years after graduating to start Caribou, named for a herd of caribou they saw while camping in Alaska. They are also connecting their stores to Barnes & Noble and Borders bookstores. Ah, I can smell the entrepreneurial brew percolating now.

Herman Narcho and his wife, Grade, welcomed Leanna Michelle in March to keep older sister (3 years) Rachel company. Herman is still enjoying his work at the U.S Department of Labor as a government contracts attorney. So, if you want to purchase a $1,000 pen or pencil, you gotta see him. Scott Jaynes and his wife, Allison, became parents to Ethan in March. The Jaynes family lives in Lexington, Mass., and Scott works at Millipore Inc. in Bedford, Mass., in the company's membrane research group. Liz Fanlo filled me in with lots of scoop from Jill Whitcomb's wedding in May. Jill married Billy Donahue and they live in Washington D.C., where Jill is a writer/editor. MarleaClark is an editor for American HealthMagazine, is married and has recently moved to Greewich, Conn. LesliePaulson was married in August. Leslie works in a clinical research division at Medtronic. Sally Gorman Fitzhugh left her legal job in San Jose, Calif., and moved to an inside counsel role at PG&E in San Francisco. She and her husband, Mike, live in Rockridge, Calif. Jeff Putnam is married and works for Northwest Airlines, traveling the world on free passes. BrianGaul was beaming throughout the ceremony, as he was the one to introduce Jill and Billy in the first place. Brian is an attorney in Washington, D.C.

Tom Berry and Jennifer are proud parents of three, Hayden (4 months), Kelsey (8 years) and Emma (5 years). The Berrys live in New Hampton, N.H. Tom has opened a Merrill Lynch office on Main Street in Hanover. Great! But that means a 48-mile commute. They will be moving to Hanover by next summer.
